Blue Moon Kentucky Wisteria (Wisteria macrostachya ‘Blue Moon’) brings reliable, cold‑hardy wisteria performance to more climates, producing foot‑long, sweetly fragrant, lavender‑blue clusters that can repeat up to three times a season. Fast‑growing twining stems quickly cloak robust supports, while its lush green foliage and golden fall color add multi‑season appeal. Plant where it gets plenty of sun, give it a strong structure, and prune after flowering to encourage repeat bloom and a tidy framework.
Botanical Name
Wisteria macrostachya ‘Blue Moon’ (Kentucky wisteria); deciduous, twining vine.
Plant Highlights
- Reblooming habit—often flowers up to three times per growing season once established.
- Foot‑long racemes of fragrant, lavender‑blue, pea‑like flowers.
- Fast growth and strong twining for rapid coverage.
- Showy yellow fall foliage; attracts pollinators.
Size & Growth
Twining stems typically reach 15–25 ft. with support; vigorous, climbing habit suitable for large, sturdy structures.
Light & Water
- Light: Full sun to partial sun (best flowering in full sun).
- Water: Water when the top ~2 inches of soil are dry; water deeply and regularly the first season to establish, then reduce frequency.
Bloom & Fragrance
- Bloom Window: Late spring through summer, with repeat flushes on established plants.
- Flowers: Fragrant, lavender‑blue racemes to about 12 inches.
Hardiness & Climate
USDA Zones 4–9; selected for exceptional cold hardiness compared with Asian wisterias.
Soil & Planting
- Thrives in enriched, slightly acidic, well‑drained soil.
- Mulch to conserve moisture; avoid over‑fertilizing with high nitrogen to keep blooms prolific.
Support & Training
Provide a sturdy arbor, pergola, or heavy‑duty trellis. Train leaders along the structure; tie in new shoots and allow flowering spurs to develop along the framework.
Pruning & Maintenance
- Trim lightly after flowering to encourage rebloom.
- Prune in late winter to shape and control size; avoid excessive removal of green growth all at once.
- Feed in early spring if needed.
Landscape Uses
